Bright Headland

Quilts festooning church pews

Bright Headland Quilters of Sheerness held their Open day yesterday and it seemed a good excuse for a jaunt. There used be a naval dockyard at Sheerness and I believe ships timbers went into the making of the church. It's not unlike being on a ship as the floors slope and if you look closely at the photo you can see how the pews on either side slope towards one another. We were supposed to follow up the Quilt Show with a picnic and a walk along the fron by the sea. In the event we picnicked in the car (expected) but it was bitterly cold with a strong wind so we chickened out of the walk and drove home. My highlights were:

About Me

I'm a retired ex teacher and librarian and very enthusiastic quilter. I used to regard myself as a quilting librarian, a repository of information leaning towards the traditional side but now my energies are concentrated on using up my stash and completing projects. My skills are average but I continue to learn and improve and I'm quite prolific. I belong to various groups from the national Quilters Guild, to the 300 strong Oast Quilters based in East Kent, Quay Quilters in Faversham who hold a biannual show and the Bonny Quilters foursome who are former machine knitters. I also belong to an informal house group called Usual Suspects. We like to eat lunch and chat and travel together. I also like to get together with a couple of Crab & Winkle friends and spend a day sewing and catching up.
I've attended all the Festivals of Quilts at the NEC and try to attend another national show as well, Sandown or Malvern and The Quilters Guild AGM and Region Two show at Hever. I've also been to Paducah and Sisters twice and Houston three times..
